Actor/director/producer George Clooney is seen in 8 set photos for The Monuments Men, giving us our first look at this World War II drama. The movie began production earlier this month, and is based on the true story of American soldiers assigned to recover a number of priceless artifacts stolen by Nazi thieves. These shots also feature a number of unidentified actors in period military costumes, though George Clooney does not appear in costume himself.

By request, these photos have been removed.

@bawnian-dexeus Lol. Sadly, I think the day is coming sooner rather than later. I'm working on starting a blog, which will give me a much broader canvas to talk about movies in the kind of light this site (and most others) fail to.
